Migration Guide

First, download the module from one of the sources listed above. Below are the steps you need to take to import your site/blog into PyroCMS from WordPress. Please Note: It is best to only use this module with a new (content free) instance of PyroCMS.

Step 1: Download and Install the PyroCMS WordPress Import Module

Extract the contents of your downloaded WordPress Import module zip to a new folder:

addons/<site-ref>/modules/wordpress_import

Please note: the folder containing your module code must be named "wordpress_import" or things will be wonky.

Step 2: Export your WordPress site to XML

Downloading a complete XML output of your WordPress blog is the ticket to importing your WordPress site/blog into PyroCMS. Here is how to download that XML file:

Step 3: Run the Import

After you have downloaded your WordPress site/blog into a XML file, return to your PyroCMS control panel, click 'Add-ons,' then click 'WordPress Import' to use the WordPress import module. Next, browse for your freshly downloaded WordPress XML file. Click 'Upload.' Once you click upload, wait while your posts, pages, and other information are imported into PyroCMS.
